Mormon Troubles—30 Housse Burnt.
—A slip from the Quincy Courier, Adams co., Ill., dated 14th inst., informs us that a body of anti-Mormons had attacked "Morley's Settle-tlement," near Lima, in that county, and burnt twenty-five or thirty houses, with barns, wheat stacks, &c. The Courier adds :
The excitement is very great, and large numbers of anti-Mormons are pouring in from the adjoining counties and Missouri, are still burning and destroying property, and determin-ed to drive the Mormons from the county. Our informant saw about fifty Mormons under arms, within about two miles from the settlement.—It was in contemplation by the anti-Mormons to attack two more settlements last evening.
The St. Louis Republican of the 16th learns from a passenger that 300 anti-Mormons were encamped near Lima, and that 100 Mormons had gone into Nauvoo, where the Legion was ordered out.
The origin of this new disturbance is given in a letter from Warsaw, Ill., published in the St. Louis Republican of the 16th.
On Tuesday morning last, (9th inst.) an at-tack was made on a school-house in Rocky Run Precinct, by some persons unknown, but sup-posed to be Mormons, in which there was at the time of the attack a convention of anti-Mormons, or old settlers of the county. The door and windows of the house were completely riddled by the shots fired by the assailants.—The attacking party approached under cover of the woods and ushes, fired one round and fled. No person was injured, but many were, I presume, much frightened at this sudden and unexpected attack. The old settlers in that section of the country armed themselves for I defence, and if they are backed by their friends in other parts of the country, blood will flow.
